Ford Crown Victoria (2011 year). Manual — part 74

Is there a problem with transporting a front seat passenger who
has their hands restrained behind their body?

This is not a normal riding position for an occupant. The effectiveness of
the passenger airbag will depend, in part, upon the occupant’s seated
position. It is recommended that the seat should be adjusted as far
rearward as possible for this situation, and that the occupant sit as
upright as possible and be properly safety belted. It is recommended that
such passengers be properly restrained in the rear seat if at all possible.

Can conditions encountered in aggressive pursuit driving
situations (e.g., high speed braking, uneven road surfaces) cause
inadvertent inflation of an airbag that might result in loss of
vehicle control?

No. Aggressive pursuit driving conditions do not fit this criteria. Airbags
are designed to deploy in moderate to major frontal crashes based on the
detection of sudden deceleration by sensors in the vehicle.

For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in
mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
• When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your

vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of
the front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the Safety
Compliance Certification label). Consult your authorized dealer for
specific weight information.

• The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio

Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile
communications systems — such as two-way radios, telephones and
theft alarms - that are equipped with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with FCC or CRTC
regulations and should be installed only by a qualified service
technician.

• Mobile communications systems may harm the operation of your

vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive
use.

• To avoid interference with other vehicle functions, such as anti-lock

braking systems, amateur radio users who install radios and antennas
onto their vehicle should not locate the Amateur Radio Antennas in
the area of the driver’s side hood.

• Electrical or electronic accessories or components that are added to

the vehicle by the authorized dealer or the owner, may adversely
affect battery performance and durability, and may also adversely
affect the performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle.
